Music for a Summer evening came to St. Sampson’s, South Hill on 24th May,2023, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of a St. Sampson’s Unlocked sponsor. Over 50 people filled the church to hear Cardiff-based string players, the Aderyn Quartet – who met St Sampson sharing their ‘green room’.
Continue readingOn a hot sunny day, we headed off on foot from Liskeard train station at 9am taking the road down to Lemellion and the site of the wool depot which closed in Feb 2021. Then taking tracks and footpaths stopping at Herodsfoot, All Saints, and popped in to see Ian the churchwarden and his dog Cheddy. Ian knew all about South Hill being a farm rep back in the day! A pretty little church with one bell, which we were allowed to ring, an interested bell rope …. The windows have recently been renovated by The Pipers, who have been working on St Sampson’s… and the community have painted the inside, with lots of scaffolding. Herodsfoot All Saints | National Churches Trust
We followed a shady path alongside the West Looe river down to Watergate and into Looe…. where we ran into a couple locals and of course rewarded ourselves with ice creams. …. after nearly 12 miles well deserved. We took the 3:15pm train back to Liskeard.
Come and commemorate the route that the people of Callington had to walk to attend church or bury their dead at South Hill, before they were allowed to build their own church in Callington.

After six years, the time has come to swap my churchwarden’s staff for trekking poles and attempt a long-held ambition to walk the Offa’s Dyke Path. Peter and I will be starting from Chepstow on 17th May, carrying our tent and kit, and rambling slowly along the 177 miles towards Prestatyn. We will take our time, stopping to visit places on the way, and in particular I hope to visit all twenty churches along the path. My indefatigable churchwarden colleague, Judith, has persuaded me not to forget St Sampson’s and to raise funds for the St Samson’s Unlocked Project as we go. Hopefully, she will be able to post updates of our progress whenever my phone has enough battery or signal to send them to her.
An Inspiring Evening,
